Gengahr – ‘Tired Eyes’ EP
by Tom Roden
A flash of indie-pop, Brit-rock glory The latest EP by masters of hauntingly ethereal britrock Gengahr is a ten minute flash of glory that perfectly encapsulates their sound for all those who didn’t get a chance to listen to A Dream Outside.

Video: Alex Moir – ‘Holding On To You’
by Tom Roden
By now I think we all know what to expect from Alex Moir, which would be upbeat summer-suited indie-alternative sounds that blend contemporary indie with 90’s Britpop glory.

From the band name to the sound of new song ‘Powder’, Gengahr are the 90’s personified. ‘Powder’ is a snapshot of what would have happened if, somewhere between ‘Leisure’ and ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’, Blur got together with Radiohead for a big old british […]

Courtly Love – ‘For Your Love, I Get High’ Review
by Tom Roden
While ‘Mirage’ soars confidently in skies of swirling psychedelia, the single’s B-Side ‘For Your Love, I Get High’ plods along the ground like a lumbering psychedelic dinosaur. It’s a very insular sounding track, one that contrasts and compliments the A-Side single while also being powerful enough to stand on its own. Whereas ‘Mirage’ draws a lot of it’s vocal prowess from the duet style delivery, this track is delivered solely by Lana Del Rey-reminiscent female vocals. The vocals are definitely […]
